#37890: RFE: General categories cleanup --------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: egall@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | --------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by c.herbig@…): Just to throw in my two cents, there also seem to be some categories that could cross reference more than what they have. For example, Katomic could probably be exposed in the Education category as well. The reason I say this is that simply trying to browse through Gnome or KDE4, you get flooded with all sorts of ports and libraries that it gets easy to miss something that might be what you were looking for; who wants to browse through 7+ pages of ports. Granted, this is probably just as much the fault of port maintainers choosing poor short descriptions and/or long_descriptions that don't really tell anything useful about the port. To summarize, as an outsider looking in, there doesn't seem to be any sort of clear strategy for port categorization, description or discovery. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37890#comment:20> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
